April 13, 2014 - 60th Birthday at home with 15 guests and superb caterer (Kalm Kitchen) - wines from my cellar. Limited note taking.
Cork pulled 36 hours before dinner and set in a wine cradle. 1970 bottling. Indestructible! Sipped after the dinner with coffee (Hawaiian Kona).
Deep ruddy brown colour. Nose of spiced apricots and baked cooking apple; clove, smoke and caramel. All elements are present in the mouth and coat the tongue, bound together with an intense but perfectly balanced pectic acidity that sears the flavours in the memory. Warming in the throat. Extraordinary length - 20-30 minutes! Intrinsically sweet but given a splendid grip by the acidity. .
For sipping in small quantities. Will hold up for a week or more in a decanter/recorked bottle. Sensational.
This bottling has at least ten years ahead of it as a minimum.
